Catherine Holstein

Khaite

Catherine Holstein founded Khaite in New York in 2016. Her approach builds a wardrobe around contrasting qualities: strength and softness, masculine and feminine, structure and fluidity. Materials and small construction details are central to the label’s identity, giving familiar pieces a distinctive balance of sensuality and practicality.
